Grayson's Stanley Visits the Leather Museum in 

Walsall, England

 Grayson's Stanley has been having a wonderful time touring the Walsall area with Pauline and her family. Pauline writes:

 On Thursday, we went to the Walsall Leather Museum, it was a very interesting visit.  Walsall is world famous for it’s leather products and companies here have made saddles for the royal family and handbags for Queen Elizabeth.

Walsall took its Coat of Arms, which includes the Warwick emblem of the "Bear and Ragged Staff" from the town’s association with the Earls of Warwick, who were lords of the Manor of Walsall for nearly 100 years.
